Keep in Touch with us
We very much value all the people who visit, create and enjoy the world of EarthCaches! We want to maintain contact with you, but realize that some of our mailing lists are now getting out of date. So, for those people who have been involved in any of the EarthCache program activities prior to the 1 July 2014, we ask that you rejoin our mailing list. That way we can send you details of activities and offers to your email address. We promise NOT to spam you, we will send emails no more than one a month, and we would never provide your email address to any outside organization. (* See below for more details)

We have so many fantastic things coming in 2015 - our first International EarthCache Event in Europe; a EarthCache GeoVenture to Iceland, the launch of the EarthCache Academy and more. Stay tuned!
